I’d rather fireworks be opt-in by way of traveling to a fireworks show than being forced to endure most of my neighbors setting off explosives for no good fucking reason
Because it’s simply not a suitable place for an animal that can be unpredictable under stress. You dog freaks out because of the stress of fireworks, large crowds, strangers, new place, etc. and suddenly flips the script. Not a bad dog, but an idiot owner. Your dog bites someone. Now what?
Unless you’re willing to accept having to pay 700 bucks to kill your dog afterwards and pay whatever costs come from any treatment for the victim, and be barred from pet ownership, don’t bring your animal to public events for humans.
if a dog isn’t bothered by it what’s the problem?

I hate this argument “my dog is nice” TO YOU.
